I for one am not about to let the past dictate how I feel about the future. This team is set up to compete. And man, it's going to be glorious. 

 

If Bryce even comes close to ROY, we will be one dangerous team. 

 

The time of year where fans are allowed to be a little crazy. And we have a bunch of Huddlers who just can't seem to let go of the past. And isn't that just a little sad?

lol what, even with Dalton we'll be significantly better than 2010, what a ridiculous take. Probably even better than 2011 with Dalton too. We were better than 2011 last year despite trash at QB and coach much of the year. 

 

Panthers will easily make the playoffs this year if Bryce stays healthy, and possibly still make it even if he doesn't.

The reason the 2011 team lost so many games is that defense was horrible. The offense was good

Ok not sure what that has to do with my post or the post I quoted

I hope they do but also am trying to be rational in realizing we have a new head coach, new staff, new rookie QB and have new players all around. Just a great season of growth and development for the younger players setting us up for the future would make me happy but if we can contend then to me that is just an awesome bonus.

Damn the irony, you really can’t let things go. That’s really sad. No one is in this thread saying bad things  just that we’ve got a shot because the division’s bad. Oh no, the horror!

@LinvilleGorge Is this guy who’s not around anymore and had a mental break when people weren’t super optimistic?

NFL rules require the NFC South to supply a team in the post season.  We were a team with definite limitations last year, we got off to a horrible start, and still almost won a disaster of a division. 

I will be the first to admit that being a dogmeat division one year does not transfer over to the next, but the only two teams that were on any sort of upswing last year were the Panthers and Falcons.  Even with the Saints signing an NFL-caliber QB, I don't think the trajectories change.  I also don't think the Falcons made any huge moves to accelerate their upswing.  Last year was the Bucs last hurrah.

All that translates into the division being maybe marginally better than last year.  Maybe.  That also means the Panthers are a contender for the playoffs, by default.  That would be true if Darnold were still the QB and Wilkes still the HC.  It's certainly no less true with Young at QB and Reich as HC.

We will contend and we will win the division.

This team was playoff caliber last year when it was handcuffed by dumb dumb HC Rhule. 
 

Fringe starter Sam Darnold was looking like a badass when we finally started playing to our strengths under Wilks. 
 

If Bryce Young is remotely close as advertised then we will be whooping a lot of ass next season. This is the best line and most effective weaponry we’ve supplied a QB since 2013.

Yall gotta start having some nuts . The Saints only win when the refs want to play storymode. The Buccaneers aren’t doing anything unless Mayfield goes dark knight rises on our ass. 
 

The Falcons are our biggest threat.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
